Discrimination in iPhone app

I downloaded a free game on iPhone called tap tap revenge 3 and b4 I could start playing, I've to set up my game profile. I was required to key in a user name and select my avatar. And that's exactly what I did.
I typed "Jez" as name and picked a sassy looking girl to represent my rocker chick gaming attitude.
But before I could proceed, a note popped up to my dismay saying "too short".
For a moment I was really offended, and then worried how this new app knew so much about me!
I later found out that it meant my keyed-in name was too short.
Well there u go, tap tap revenge 3 has no height preference for its players.
So play on!! all ye iPhone addicts!

Of my orange brellie

I once had this conversation with Stanley Tan, who had one front tooth missing when I met him.

Stan: your umbrella is so small it can only keep my hair dry! (do also bear in mind that he's bald)

Me: well it will if u have any. Maybe ur eyebrows. They may be well protected with this umbrella.

Stan: Yeah I think so. But U're so small anyway, u should be alright with it, that's why u bought it right?

Me: it's a gift from a friend who I once said that black umbrellas make rainy days sadder, so she got me a bright orange one to cheer my rainy days up.

Stan: not bad... Happy but wet... better than dry but sad. Good to know that ur hair will remain happy and dry.

Me: well in ur case ur eyebrows will be happy and dry if u use it

:)
